So... I tried them out. Skilled into A-I for Assault & Logi... Of course, I used the CR, because I suck terribly with that gun, yet want to keep with the Minmatar theme...
As of right now, there is zero reason to use those death trap, SP sink, monstrosity of a Dropsuit. They are complete garbage. No health, CPU/PG, or Stamina... they are just a little quicker, so you can try to run away faster before you get 4-shotted by everything. They are worse than Scout Dropsuits. The millions of SP you need to sink into them to make them competitive is a total waste of time. I don't see how the rumored 1.8 updates are going to help these dropsuits. They have no advantage what-so-ever.
Its no wonder that I never see these suits in PCs, except when the game very highest elite players use them. There is gear that takes skill to use and is more difficult, then their is flat out garbage.
CCP, throw these poor Minmatar people a bone...

I can use the Scout variant just fine. The medium frame variants are the total waste of time.

Did that... I had to pattern strafe and work my a** off just to score a single kill. How does strafing help you when it only takes 4-5 bullets sprayed into you to kill you?

They are not that bad you just have to sacrifice armor for shields.
I use a reactive plate and a shield reg in the lows and just shields in the high. That with a ACR usually gets me in the positive... The thing is that it you HAVE to use cover and you have to flank otherwise SCR and ARs will tear you a new one.

thats ADV... :P and 1k to be competitive? tell that to the scouts
if you need 1k EHP to kill people and not die... its not the suit its you.
this is coming from a PC player with no suit having over 800HP |

I must be among the (almost) very highest elite players, because I've been using it since it came out. The logi is ok..... 1.8 will help because we will get 2 handfuls of bullets instead of 1 and I am pretty sure they are going to upgrade the stock shield recharger and regulator on the suit. Oh and they are increasing TTK which means speed is half a factor... if only they threw out AA :( |

well, ive had the proto mini assault since 1.6 . It wasn't that bad then; but now it really struggles quite a bit. Ever weapon aside from MD & Flaylocks rip through shield no matter their efficiency % ; so you get ripped apart quite easily (like 102 burst of basic CR clears almost all of your shields).
That and with so many armor tankers, armor is simply harder to melt through no matter, so you get kinda butt f-cked. For the slight movement speed increase and include 1 armor rep it isn't really worth it anymore.
Will 1.8 change things; it depends on your role. Unless swarms are fixed massively, I don't see Mini assault as good of a assault suit compared to the other 3. Even with a MD equipped, I feel you'd be filling more of a support role w/ area denial.
But who knows, only 1.8 will tell

How much SP did it take to get to that? Millions. When I can turn around around use the same millions of SP to rock 1000HP on my Advanced suits

ADV Min logi is the best suit for the money. OP I have no idea what you're on about, the Min logi is fantastic. I'm incredibly bitter about losing that sexy hack speed bonus in 1.8 and trading it for a bonus to the only boring part of Dust, which is the main reason I absolutely won't stop screaming for a respec when 1.8 drops. |

Whoa what? We're loosing our Hack bonus!? D= CCP why you do dis?
But I loved my godly hack speed =( ... Complex Hack mods on top of my bonus was amazing. I'd hack points before people could respawn on the point, and I could stop a hack before help could arrive.

minmatar assault works fine for me most of my adv suits get between 600 and 750 total hp with proto weapons equipped. I agree with Ghosts Chance you're building it wrong. |

But that's pubs. Also a scout doesn't need 1k because he's a scout...not an assault or heavy.

I've Ran the Minmatar Assault suit since they came out... Specialized my character around the suit....
Suit is inferior to almost any option in the game right now. including a lot of Logistic Advanced suits...
Worse is the changes to the suit in 1.8 are gonna make it a niche Piece of sh!t suit made for a niche crowd... I went from being happy along with everyone i knew who ran Assault suits.... Happy they where finally gonna be a DPS class... And now everyone is going scout or heavy.....
Assault suit class is dead competitively if they keep the changes they purposed.. There really is no point in running the suit except for Utility...?????!?!?!? And how does that make sense on a Assault...
So the 1000+ Health point scout Suits with 2 equipment slots and cloaking potential will be the new Assault class in the game...
Assault is dead in 1.8.... Will be sad to put my Assault suit in the spare room closet.. But it no longer works competitively. |

If we get a respec, you can skill into the minmatar scout, as they will inherit their logistic counterparts old skill for hacking (if not close to it).
